Mike Cooper narrates “Jaws: The Inside Story” this weekend on Bio

by Mike on July 23, 2010

Jaws posterIt’s the movie which scared everyone out of the water and which made the directing career of Steven Spielberg. It broke box office records and went on to win three Oscars. But it nearly didn’t get made at all and was beset by problems during production. So, how did one of the greatest movies of the seventies overcome the obstacles to take its place in the movie hall of fame?

London-based, British voiceover artist Mike Cooper is the narrator for Bio’s “Jaws: The Inside Story”, which premieres in its UK version this weekend. The two-hour documentary features interviews with the stars and with Spielberg himself, giving diehard fans and newcomers alike a unique insight into the production.

The programme is a reversion for Bio’s UK audience, and is just one of a host of documentaries narrated by Mike Cooper for Bio, History, Military History, National Geographic and other channels. If you would like to talk about using Mike for your own project, please contact him for details. Based in London, Mike narrates regularly for clients around the world, either recording and editing in his own studio, or working live via ISDN or Source-Connect direct to your own facility. Phone and Skype patch are also available for you to listen in if required.

“Jaws: The Inside Story” premieres on Sunday 25th July at 9pm on Bio (formerly The Biography Channel). Bio is on Sky 529 & 530(+1), Sky HD 545, Virgin 234 & 235(+1)

MikeCooperVoiceover.com 2.0 is live!

by Mike on June 19, 2010

Welcome to my redesigned homepage – the culmination of several months of work and tweaking with my new web designer, who’s gone well beyond the call of duty to make it work.

I asked for “evolution, not revolution” and wanted to preserve the things I liked most about the old site, while giving it a facelift and bringing it up-to-date. In particular, I wanted to:

  • reduce the amount of text on the front page and make it easier to navigate
  • give clear directions to the most important parts of the site – hence the “Listen”, “About” and “Contact” buttons at the top of the page
  • provide clear links to my other profiles, on YouTube, Twitter and so on, which weren’t as important to me when version 1 went onto the internet
  • give myself a way to dynamically update the front page with my recent activity
  • highlight some of my better-known clients, with a random selection of logos on the homepage

I hope you’ll agree that the new page is an improvement. All things being equal, the next update will see some great innovations on the “Listen” page to make it easier to find the clips you want, and last – but by no means least – my blog, “Gobs on Sticks”, which has been “resting” since the end of last year, is all set to make a new splash.

Watch this space, and do let me know what you think. And if you like what my designer has done for me, then do check out All Design Online.

Best wishes,

Mike
